While the battle between which lifting technology ensues, with one center offering one or the other, our center went out of our way to own 3 of the most well reviewed skin tightening and rejuvenating machines available in the market today, our latest being Ulthera.
Though we already use Thermage for skin thightening, CO2 Laser Resurfacing for skin rejuvenation in Thailand, specifications and reviews for Ulthera highly commends the treatment for its lifting effect.
WHAT IS ULTHERA?
Ulthera in Thailand, is non-invasive, FDA-approved, Ultrasound based treatment to lift eyebrows, neck, under chin, décolletage lines and wrinkles. The treatment is 1-2 hour procedure which gives up to 30% instant effect right after treatment.
What’s unique about this procedure / treatment is the lifting effect. We are all aware that laser is the gold standard for treating fine wrinkles since these marks are etched on the skin, and laser will peel them away. When it comes to tightening, Thermage in Thailand is our go-to treatment since it covers a larger area and is more cost-friendly than Ulthera, but when it comes to lifting, there is no other machine that does it better than Ulthera.
HOW DOES ULTHERA WORK?
Ulthera’s ultrasound energy bypasses the surface of the skin and is directly delivered to the target depth/tissue that is set by your doctor. As the energy touches the target tissue, collagen production is stimulated, therefore causing contraction of the tissue, thus lifting the outer skin. The ultrasound goes deep to the layer that is usually involved in facelift surgeries in Thailand, the SMAS layer, that’s why the procedure has been proven effective time and again.
CAN ULTHERA BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR FACELIFT?
In terms of result, Facelift in Thailand with a Board Certified Plastic/Cosmetic Surgeon like Prof. Kunachak will still yield the optimum result, however, depending on your expectation and the laxity of your skin, Ulthera may give just the right amount of lifting that you want. For patients with excess skin or severe sagging and laxity, the procedure will still work, but it may not warrant enough lifting to give a tighter look hence for severe cases, facelift surgery is still your best option.
HOW LONG DOES THE RESULT OF ULTHERA LAST?
The result of one session of Ulthera in Thailand can be appreciated usually right after the treatment with continuous improvement over the next 8-12weeks. The result can last for about 2-5 years depending on your lifestyle since aging is always lifestyle related. A touch up can be done in a year after the treatment to improve the result, however, even repeated treatment will not be able to fully correct excessively sagging skin.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER ULTHERA?
Since the treatment is a non-invasive approach without any incision or injection involved, patients who had undergone Ulthera Treatment in Thailand can go out right after the procedure and proceed with whatever activity he/she is engaged in for that day. Pain is very minimal after treatment, since no trauma was caused to the underlying tissues.
Sun exposure, though always recommended at minimal, will not be detrimental to post-ulthera patients unlike those who did laser. A certain degree of swelling and bruising may be possible but usually not that significant to warrant a stay indoors.
